Watching a couple of hots streams, a lot of things look efing ridiculous.
Did anyone see tt1's mothercore-thing offensive recall? That's inherently broken. It's like warpprism + forcefield ramp but MUCH stronger, will autowin vs anyone. Anyway, it's early beta, too early to whine.


that's what the beta is there for.

chill out

Maybe this will motivate me to laddering a lot again, tho I don't think HotS will make the game that much, if any, better :<

Willing to pay for betakey ;p

But blizzard already said , global play will be in HOTS , and it will be lag free ( they use some new techlonogy for that ) , lags will be caused only by poor conection . If you have like 1-2 MB connection its normal you gonna lag on "kr" server. People with 10+ MB , or even 5 MB imo should play without lag


lol? new tehnology ay? so some blizzard devs find out how to break the speed of light? right....


There is no technology on earth that can reduce lag across the globe in multiplayer games. No matter what you do, messages sent from the EU are restricted to the speed of light to travel to korea. The best they can do is have a local server in the center of each player point which will give the minimum possible lag (which will still be huge)


LOL , sure there is a way to play global without lag..
What i read .. you try to say that: Blizzard is making global play , but it is uslesss because all players gonna have lags ?
Then why blizzard is making this .. if there will be massive lags.. ? , make no seanse.., or you are wrong and thye find a way.


Just wanted to add some calculation:

Light speed is ~300 000 km/s
Distance from Berin to New York is 6400 km
Light from Berlin to New York travels: 6400 / 300 000 = 0.021 s = 21 ms

So minimum ping possible between continents is 21 ms, but when you netowrking devices ping often increases to ~130ms between continents. There is posibility in reduction of ping but I think most is possible of up to ~50-60 ms from current 130



Your calculation is wrong because ping time refers to a round-trip, not just a one-way packet. So the minimum ping between Berlin and New York would be 42.5 ms, and that is if light was travelling in a vacuum. But in fact the two cities would be connected by fiber, which decreases the speed of light by a factor of 1.467 according to my googling.

So at best you could get ~62 ms, if the two cities were connected directly and not giving any time for the packet to get processed by ethernet cards, routers and the CPUs in the two end computers... 50-60 ms is impossible unless I've done some mistake.

Wait.... so people get random massive unfair advantages when its released?

So much for the fair reset people were hoping for.
I'm embarrased by my past actions and even more ashamed of my present thoughts and future endeavors to clear my name.

My brother with only a EU account got in.

oh really? can you verify that?

which league is he in ladder of WoL?

He's Master but he's been GM for a few seasons.

seems like they invited a lot of pros and a few really good players to fill up, in this first wave.

Yes, currently gold league is full of masters players. lol


lol I'm going to get destroyed then, got an invite and I'm plat (I have no idea why I was invited ^^)

The entomb needs to go out... it's the most boring, one-dimensional spell in the game by far.

Easiest way if you have the client is just to try to log in. Other than that go on battle.net and check your games, if you are in you have hots beta there.
